Halloween with Kids in Valencia by Age
For the Youngest: Halloween Theatre and Musicals
If your children are little, or you prefer a plan without big scares, children’s theatre is the calmest option and the easiest to fit into an afternoon. The October 2026 listings include these shows in València.
- Pica Pica, Operación Halloween (a children’s music show), on 17 October at the Terraza Rambleta, from €16.
- Villanos, el musical de Halloween (a Halloween musical), from 24 October to 1 November at the Sala Carolina, from €10.35.
- Halloween Es Mágico, from 31 October to 1 November at the Teatro La Estrella (Sala Cabanyal), from €9.
- Cantajuego (a sing-along show), on 31 October at the Palau de Congressos de València, from €20.
The recommended age varies by show. Check dates, times and tickets in Hoy Valencia’s listing of plans with kids (in Spanish) or at each venue’s box office.
For Brave Little Ones: Escape Room, Haunted Walkthroughs and Jumping
Enigmatium Room offers a family Halloween lunch that mixes riddles, monsters and a 60-minute escape room. It all takes place in what used to be a Civil War shelter. The restaurant is secret and you find it by solving clues sent by email two days before, and phones and watches are not allowed during the experience. It lasts around three hours and costs €29 per child and €39.50 per adult. Booking is handled with a code you request by phone or WhatsApp on Enigmatium Room’s Halloween lunch with children page (in Spanish).
At the Bonaire shopping centre in Aldaia, El Granero de los Horrores (the Barn of Horrors) is a walkthrough with games and characters, including Uncle Billy’s game, the Temple of Satan, the Pit of the Dead and an interactive photocall. It runs on 23, 24, 25, 30 and 31 October and 1 November, from 5pm to 9pm, and you need to be a Bonaire Club member to take part. The centre’s website doesn’t state a recommended age, so check beforehand whether it suits your children. From 22 October to 1 November you can also take photos with the giant Katrinas, Mexican-inspired skulls that decorate the centre. More information on Bonaire’s El Granero de los Horrores page (in Spanish).

If your little ones need to burn off energy, Fun Jump is a trampoline park of more than 2,500 m² with over 70 interconnected trampolines, plus ninja and tag zones, slides, mats and a ball pit. It is in Massanassa, in Valencia’s metropolitan area, and has free parking. Its usual hours are 10:30am to 2pm and 5pm to 9:30pm on Saturdays, and 10:30am to 2pm and 5pm to 9pm on Sundays and public holidays. If you go in costume, ask whether there is a Halloween offer on Fun Jump’s official website (in Spanish).

A Special Night: Sleeping with Sharks at the Oceanogràfic
Sleeping with sharks is one of the Oceanogràfic’s best-known experiences. It usually includes dinner, a themed activity, sleeping in the Oceans area and breakfast the next morning, with a visit to the aquarium. In recent editions, such as 2023 and 2024, the Oceanogràfic ran special versions for Halloween night. Places are limited, so check the Oceanogràfic’s official website to see whether there is an edition this year, and confirm the minimum age and price before planning the rest of your weekend.
If you’d like to stay nearby, HQ Rooms has apartments near the Oceanogràfic and the City of Arts and Sciences.
📍 Get directions to the Oceanogràfic (Carrer d’Eduardo Primo Yúfera, 1B)
For Ages 12 and Up: Mysteries and Legends in the Old Town
If you are travelling with teenagers or older children, the free tours of mysteries and legends take around two hours to walk through Valencia’s historic centre, telling stories of crimes, epidemics and legends, with stops that, depending on the route, pass places such as Plaza de la Virgen or the Lonja de la Seda. They usually start at Plaza del Mercado, are free and you pay what you want at the end. They run all year round, not just at Halloween, and because of their theme we don’t recommend them for young children. You can check days and times on GuruWalk’s Valencia free tours (in Spanish). And to complete your route, here are the best monuments in Valencia.

Halloween and All Saints’ Day in Valencia, the Other Half of the Festivity
In Valencia, Halloween coexists with a much older tradition, All Saints’ Day (Todos los Santos). While 31 October is the night of costumes and trick-or-treating, 1 November is the day to remember deceased relatives and gather around the table. In 2026 it falls on a Sunday and, according to the Comunitat Valenciana’s labour calendar, it is not moved to the Monday, so there is no long weekend but there is a public holiday on Sunday.
The city prefers to save its appetite for that day with sweets from neighbourhood bakeries. Huesos de santo (“saints’ bones”) are marzipan tubes filled with candied egg yolk, buñuelos are small fried dough balls filled with cream or pumpkin and covered in sugar, and panellets are made with ground almonds, sugar and pine nuts. It’s a perfect plan to do with children: pick the sweets at the bakery and enjoy them back at home. València Turisme describes these traditions in its guide to typical All Saints’ Day sweets (in Spanish).
A practical note. As 1 November is a public holiday, check the opening times of shops and of the bakeries you want to visit beforehand. To plan the rest of your Sunday, our guide to what to do on a Sunday in Valencia will help.
